Guys, I still like my lg g2, but it is getting old now even tho it still has very good hardware. The phone is 6 months old(Bought it this year and was produced 2014/november)But the model is from 2013. Okay that doesn't really brother me, but the thing that does is: Should I get the xiaomi redmi note 3 and sell my lg g2? I like miui and I also have a card with a lot of mobile 3g internet that I can use, because the xiaomi is dual sim.
Should I sell it and buy the redmi note 3 for 180$ or should I stick with the phone, because I still like it, but I can sell it and give a few bucks more and buy the note 3. I can sell my device easily for 150$ and buy the xiaomi for 180$
Don't sell G2 for Redmi Note 3.
Hello XDA,
I'm looking for a new phone, even if my Galaxy Note 3 is still working it's a bit old and used.
I'm watching a lot of thread, tests etc... And I think 700 € for a phone (750$) is really too much!
What could you tell me about new or old phones that can suits me? I need :
- good sound for music (earplugs)
- not less powerful than the Note 3
- not bigger than 5.5 inchs
- Full HD
- less than 400 € more or less
- micro sd!
Thanks a lot,
Regards,

Look at the new Alcatel 4?
There are so many options.
LG G4
LG G3
LG G2
Nexus 5
Xperia Z2 or 3
Galaxy S5
Galaxy Note 4.
All can be bought for much less than £300 (about $400), on eBay. I doubt you'd be disappointed with any of them.
In terms of value the Note 4, G4 and S5 are more comparable
The G3 and Xperias are also in roughly the same bracket.
The Nexus 5 and G2 also cost roughly the same too.
It depends on how far under $400 you want to be. All of the phones have at least a Snapdragon 800 or equiv.
Thanks for answers but I'm afraid of LG G4 battery :/ even if it's really interesting

Forget everything you have read here and go to microcenter and buy asus zenfone 2 . My cousin bought it and asked me to help him a bit with rooting and so , and I messed with the phone for a while and I like it A LOT . And it cost 279$ . I have note 3 . I know you asked for better phone , there is not many Better than note 3 , but they are more than 400$ .
If you get this one I am sure you will be very Happy . If you are in USA go to :
http://www.microcenter.com/product/456240/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML_64GB_Unlocked_-_Black
If not USA than find your local Amazon and buy it from there .
Only thing I did not like about this phone is that my cousin took it with him . (^-^)
By the way Microcenter's deal is better than amazon.com.

Good call. If you're outside of the Microcenter states, go Amazon and for $20 more you can pick on up, 64GB with US warranty. :good: If I had the money and dire need to replace my Note 3, then I'd go with this phone as well.
Otherwise, I'll stick to the $500+ phone investments as an upgrade to the Note 3.
Nah.
The Note 3 is a great phone. If it's not doing everything you want it to, try a different firmware. Don't buy into the manufacturer hype about buying a new phone every couple of years.
My opinion? The Asus Zenfone 2 is almost so good as the Galaxy S6 ?, with a low price... but the Asus smartphones don't have the same huge amount of custom roms as the Note 3.
If you want more options for cheaper smartphones, reply.
*Also consider Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P features (not so cheap, but you'll not have to change your device for the next 2 years)

What's new from Standard Redmi 3?
3GB RAM
32GB Storage
Fingerprint reader

Soooooo annoying.... And I got my redmi 3 like few weeks back....
I was considering getting note 3 only because of fingerprint sensor, but it is way too large for my liking. And now they release this.

Don't be. Plus it's to be expected that they'd get either an Enhanced or Prime (well except now obviously it's a Pro so) out. Not that I defend Xiaomi but they're not the only ones struggling to balance out price points.
Subject to individual preference of course, sure both 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage are more than welcome but are you sure you don't want to pair those to a slightly more capable SoC with better GPU OR at least with an FHD screen instead?
As for me being Malaysian when Mi are lagging their ass in their own sweet time to even bring in proper official Redmi 3/ido sets on time let alone this Pro I can't be arsed to wait and definitely are happy with how much I've paid for my imported set so yeah.
Hello everyone, does someone know, will the PRO version have capacity buttons light?
Any news here yet? It says 4th of April, but I can't really find anything yet.
It will be more great if :
Super AMOLED 2560 x 1440 pixels or QHD+ with Gorilla Glass 5 with 3D or Force Touch too
SD652 or SD825 in it
USB Type-C
QC 3.0 or Super VOOC
24 UltraPixel with f/1.2 main camera & 24 UltraPixel front camera with f/1.2 (Best lowlight) dual-pixel + iSight technology
Micro SD Card (up to 512Gb) slot separetly from SIM 2nd Slot
10.000 mAh battery capacity
What do you think?

Spemall is selling it already, they have posted a photo showing their stock.

I've just purchased from Spemall. Never used them before, but I guess Paypal has my back if anything dodgy happens. £144 delivered to the UK by DHL, with the promise that they'll "lower the invoice price" so that I get charged less tax at import... We'll see. Should be here by the end of next week.
Just ordered one Redmi 3 Pro yesterday, hope to reicive it as soon as possible.

You should have chosen EU Direct. I have done that when ordering from Spemall and the item arrived within a week and no customs tax.

Ah that's a shame, live and learn I guess. DHL was a pound more but showing as 60% discount, so I assumed that it was the better value option.
This handset is now on hotukdeals.co.uk under an AliExpress seller for the bargain price of £120.

Hey guys,
Is spemall.com a reliable/trustworthy site? I am currently in Cyprus (EU) and its basically between ibuygou.com and spemall.com. Which handles returns friendlier and you guys have had better experiences with?
Thanks!
Hello I just get my redmi 3 Pro. I am installing some apps and noticed that heats up very fast. Does anyone feel the same?
Also sorry if my english is bad im spanish speaker. :good:
I'm not sure whether I should buy the pro version or the non-pro version, if I'm buying the pro version, can I use the ROMs from the non-pro version?
Some one can help me, where is price cheapest?
i'm want to buy PRO version
I've now received my Redmi 3 Pro and after a week of use I am very happy with it. I'm getting 6-7 hours of screen on time, the camera is much better than the reviews led me to believe, and it's been an all round decent experience. The only thing that is bugging me is that I'm on the Chinese ROM and don't seem to have a clear answer on whether the Redmi 3 ROMs will work or will brick my device. Ideally I'd run CM12, but even the Global Miui would be better than the Chinese one.
Redmi 3 Roms seem yet not to work with pro version. Fingerprint and network seem not to work.
Waiting for a fixed release of EU rom.

Wow, nuts how the prices change. I'm waiting for my Redmi 3 still that I ordered in the beginning of April. Paid 170 USD for it.
Really

I will buy it
Well, ain't I lucky. http://es.aliexpress.com/store/1986585 <-- may NOT want to get something there. I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi3, but I got a 2nd hand Samsung E7, packaged in their own unique tape and all. Had to escalate the dispute with Aliexpress, luckily they helped me out.
I guess I may be trying again for the pro version. Any other reviewers?
OK so the N5X is 3 years old now... any new phones out or coming out that are similar in price (budget-mid price range), and will have similar custom ROM support?
Just curious, as my N5X is still going strong, but there seems to be a roadblock on getting Android Pie to be fully functional in the few attempts I see (encryption?)
I've been keeping an eye on the new Nokia #.1 devices, and other similar specc'd phones.
Thanks.
I think OnePlus 5T or OnePlus 6 is a true worthy successor

I replaced my Nexus 5x with an Essential PH-1 on Prime day. This is the first non Nexus device I ever owned but it's very much a spiritual successor to the Nexus lineup. I am waiting for it to go back on sale again so I can pick one up for my mom.
I would consider something like the OnePlus/Oppo if it were available on Sprint but unfortunately my device selection is limited being on this provider.

Those are still pretty spendy at $400+. I'm looking for the $300 or less range, same as the 5X was. I really can't see spending that much for a phone, as I'm not quite as hooked into it as some seem to be, I just need a nice reliable device I can customize easily like the 5X.
Nokia 7+ or Xiaomi Mi A2. Both Android One.
Nokia 7.1 (processor isn’t very good though), Nokia 7.1 Plus (awesome if launches globally near China price) or Nokia 8.1 (TBA).

Yeah I was looking at the Nokia phones as well. I'm in the US, so want to purchase them here so they have a warranty valid in the US.
Any more thoughts on this topic as the holiday sales are upon us?

I did... a little quirky, kept locking up, other little issues. I don't think Pie will be viable for the N5X in the long run.
Right now I'm running latest Oreo stock but rooted with Magisk and Franco kernel.
I'm asking about new phones, not ways to keep my old phone running.
Thanks.
@g90814, you're welcome
The Pixel 1 and Pixel 2 prices are about 300-500 bucks now. And that is very good.

you can try the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE or The Pocophone F1 the Poco has a flagship specs with snapdragon 845 but its camera is not pretty good because Xiaomi just nerf the Poco's camera in the stock camera so you have to install a google camera. Mi 8 SE has snapdragon 710 which is quite rare and according to some people, it's a Snapdragon 845 with a weaker GPU.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE not available in US as of now unless you want it shipped from China.
Pocophone is an option, but a little expensive for my tastes ($345 for 64GB model) and not available with US warranty (yet).

From everything I found, at that price point, the Pocophone is the best one, anything cheaper is way worse and not many things a little bit more expensive like at $400 or $500 are still not as good as it is. You don't really have to worry about warranty if you buy on Amazon though, if Xiaomi don't give you warranty, Amazon will as well as the resellers so don't worry about that. Bellow that 300 bucks, you may also get some other Xiaomi phones with good specs but most of them are using snapdragon 6xx which is not quite good.
Essential phone is truly the lowest price replacement of good quality.
I wouldn't recommend that pocophone for anyone in America because it doesn't work on Verizon or Sprint.
The pixel phones are all decent, but they have major hardware issues and look ugly.
LG makes the best looking and some of the most feature rich phones, but can't ever update software. (V30 is just an awesome phone form factor tho)
If I had to recommend a few replacements these would be it:
Galaxy s8 or newer Samsung flagships (TouchWiz is better than stock Android in 2018 amazingly)
Essential phone
LG v30*
Oneplus 6t (No other OnePlus phones though because the rest are beat by Galaxy s8/s9 and the essential phone at every price point)
*For v30 you must be a regular headphone jack user. That quad dac is amazing. Makes a $10 pair of headphones sound like $150, and regular car speakers sound like a full on audio upgrade. Being an LG there is next to no software support and no dev support, but the audio almost makes up for it.

Other option to consider however....
Downgrade to upgrade.
The 5x sucks you'll be happier with a Galaxy note 4, note 3, or a Nexus 6 as they are all faster and better phones in 2018 due to having 3gb of ram.
Plus they have great dev support and in the note devices extended batteries that can last a long time. Going from a Nexus 5x to any flagship with 3gb or more of ram in the last 5 years is really a massive upgrade. That 1gb of ram is the difference between usable and unusable.

Thanks for all that, Nascar. Lot's to consider, but the 'downgrade to upgrade' is a valid point. I was eyeing some refurb Galaxy s# phones, maybe I'll go for that.
I have bought a OnePlus 6 with the discount from Black Friday (and that will be valid until Christmas, I think). It is exactly the same price as the Nexus 5x 32gb originally.: $429,00. In this sense I think it is a proper successor. It is a little big, though.
And I disagree with the post above. The S8 is a great phone, but it is worse than the OnePlus 6 in most aspects but the camera.
I was just looking at the Pixel Experience download page (https://download.pixelexperience.org/) and it says there is a download for the Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet), but I don't see one for the Redmi Note 7 Global Version (lavender). So I'm wondering if there will be one for this or if the one for the Pro version would work. I live in the United States so the Global Version has a lot better network coverage than the Pro Version. Especially for LTE 4G. Actually I bought a Pro Version one from China and I'm waiting to receive it. But will attempt to return it or may just sell it here. But I also bought the Global Version which is out for delivery to me even as I type this. Just joined these forums and they're great. Thanks for your help.
Please refer to the right section. I was hyped when I saw your title and thought that it was released. We should wait for the developers, IIRC letsmakecake is currently on it
